heh it helps if you initialize the variable inside yoru MXML Component..
public var employeeModel;
should be
public var employeeModel = new Object();
that seemed to have done the trick.....
eg:
--index.mxml---
<mx:Model id="testModel">
<firstName>Scott</firstName>
</mx:Model>
<inco:dspTravelProfile employeeModel="{this.testModel}" />
-- dspTravelProfile.mxml--
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA]
public var employeeModel = new Object();
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:FormItem label="First Name:">
<mx:Label text="{employeeModel.firstName}"/>
</mx:FormItem>
